Naruto: Uzumaki Menma walks out of the infinite moon reading - Chapter 236

c231 Orochimaru vs. Kabuto Yakushi

Time passed, the sky gradually darkened, and the moon was high in the sky.

Kabuto Yakushi was walking alone in a valley in the Land of Fields, and his leisurely appearance seemed like that of a traveler who was just outing.

As he walked deeper into the valley, the road became narrower and narrower, and the chirping of insects nearby gradually disappeared, becoming completely silent…

Only the sound of “rustling” came from the dark woods.

Boom! !

In the originally pitch-black canyon, fierce flames suddenly appeared.

The whole earth seemed to shake, and a dull explosion detonated underground.

The explosion came quickly and went away quickly, and the canyon returned to silence and darkness again.

The hot smoke and dust swept across the canyon, and Kabuto Yakushi could no longer be seen.

Swish! !

A figure holding a bone blade suddenly appeared in the distance of the canyon.

Looking at the darkness shrouded by smoke and dust, there was no smile on Kaguya Junmaro’s face.

“Where did that guy go?”

Was he so easily blown to ashes by the detonation trap?

Just as Kimimaro was thinking.

“I like your gift…”

A figure instantly appeared above his head, holding a highly compressed chakra blade in his hand.

“Then please accept my return gift.”

Accompanied by a sharp sound of breaking wind, the knife slashed towards Kimimaro’s neck fiercely.

Kimimaro hurriedly manipulated the bone blade to slash upwards.

However, realizing that he was too late to resist, he had to let a hard periosteum form under the skin of his neck, trying to block this fatal blow by enhancing the body’s defense.

Bloodline Limit: Corpse Bone Vein, a bloodline limit that can freely manipulate the bones of the whole body, such as osteoblasts, osteoclasts, calcium concentration, etc., can be manipulated without restrictions, and bones can be generated, decomposed or kept hardened for defense or attack.

It is the strongest spear when attacking and the strongest shield when defending. Kimimaro believes that he can withstand this blow.

Bang! Crack! Crack! !

However, the periosteum at the neck actually began to break under this knife.

“This…”

Kimimaro’s always calm face finally showed a little surprise.

The hardness of the bone is comparable to that of fine steel, but the opponent’s blow actually destroyed it?

The next moment, Kimimaro’s neck was directly cut off by a knife.

Kabuto Yakushi landed smoothly, without looking back, and smiled with an unchanged expression: “I’m here to find Lord Orochimaru.”

Bang!

Kimimaro, who had just been killed, suddenly turned into a cloud of smoke.

“You guy…”

Kimimaro walked out again and looked at Kabuto Yakushi with a serious expression.

Seeing the smile on his face, Kimimaro’s fear became more and more intense.

He subconsciously touched his neck.

Although it was only one of his shadow clones that was killed by Kabuto Yakushi, the pain of having his head cut off was still very deep.

“Enough!”

Just when Kimimaro was about to continue his attack, a cold voice suddenly came over.

A man in a white robe came out from the depths of the forest.

Kimimaro hurriedly said: “I will kill him soon!”

The man in the white robe frowned, and his tone became colder: “Don’t waste Lord Orochimaru’s time any more.”

After that, he ignored Kimimaro, looked up and down at Kabuto Yakushi, and then smiled and said: “My name is Huang Quan, and I am Lord Orochimaru’s assistant.”

“Please follow me, Lord Orochimaru has been waiting for a long time.”

Seeing the unfamiliar face of the man in the white robe, a hint of doubt flashed in Kabuto Yakushi’s eyes.

Huang Quan?

A name that has never been heard of.

Where did Orochimaru find a new assistant?

Huang Quan looked back at Kabuto Yakushi and asked knowingly: “What’s wrong with you?”

Kabuto Yakushi shook his head and hid the strange color in his eyes.

Until the three of them came to an underground entrance.

Huang Quan turned to Yakushi Kabuto and said, “There will be some snakes at the entrance. Don’t worry. Just follow me and they won’t attack you.”

Yakushi Kabuto smiled and nodded.

Along the way, not only did Kimimaro’s hostility and unwillingness not hide, but Yakushi Kabuto also found ten traps, five seals, and more than a dozen ninjas hiding in the dark.

Such a strict and cautious arrangement is really Orochimaru’s style.

Of course, it also represents Orochimaru’s beating on him.

“It really makes Kabuto feel disappointed~”

Hearing Yakushi Kabuto’s sigh, Huang Quan said meaningfully: “I hope that Senior Kabuto can forgive Kimimaro’s behavior. It would be great if it can be regarded as an accident. After all, Lord Orochimaru is really scary when he gets angry.”

Hearing this, Kimimaro on the side clenched his fists and swallowed the words in his mouth unwillingly.

Yakushi Kabuto smiled and said, “It seems that you have your own ideas.”

For this, Huang Quan did not deny it.

However, the smile on his face also faded.

“Senior Kabuto was also Orochimaru’s assistant before, right?”

“The ideals and charm of Orochimaru will make people gradually forget their true selves. Even if they voluntarily become chess pieces in his hands, they will inevitably feel the same confusion in their hearts…”

The night wind became cold in the evening, blowing Huang Quan’s black hair into disarray.

He said to Kabuto Yakushi in a serious tone: “So, since I knew the identity of Senior Kabuto, I felt sincere joy in my heart. We are the same kind of people. Please take care of me in the future.”

The pharmacist’s expression remained unchanged, he just smiled and adjusted his glasses, and did not respond to Huang Quan’s words.

Seeing this, Huang Quan frowned, but returned to normal in an instant, and asked with a smile: “What, Kabuto-senpai, do you think there is anything wrong?”

“No, since you can become Lord Orochimaru’s assistant, it means that your abilities are excellent.”

Kabuto Yakushi smiled kindly, and suddenly changed the topic: “However, your disguise ability is too bad, and you don’t understand Orochimaru-sama.”

As he finished speaking, Huang Quan’s body suddenly stiffened, and a layer of cold sweat appeared on his face.

Hiss, hiss…

The head of a white snake crawled over his shoulder, its slender tongue licking his neck.

The cold, slimy feeling filled Huang Quan’s eyes with fear, and his stiff body did not dare to move rashly.

“Huang Quan, it would be better to come and talk to me next time about this kind of problem of exploring the truth of life.”

Orochimaru’s unique hoarse voice also hissed out of his white mouth.

“I will help you with things about the Kingdom of Ghosts. I am also very curious about the so-called monsters and the precognitive ability of shrine maidens, but compared to Kabuto, you are still too young now. If I discover it again…”

Orochimaru’s voice sounded again, with a smile still in his tone, as if he did not blame Huang Quan for his disobedience.

But Huangquan knew in his heart that Orochimaru just didn’t care.

For Orochimaru, his subordinates are only divided into two categories: “useful” and “useless”.

As long as his “Dark Medical Ninjutsu” is still useful to Orochimaru, as long as he does not touch Orochimaru’s bottom line, he will not be killed, and at most he will be sentenced to the death penalty of “ten thousand snake bites”.

But it was also because of this that Huang Quan respected and feared Orochimaru.

“Yes, Lord Orochimaru.”

Huang Quan took a step back with a wry smile, stepped aside, looked at Yakushi Kabuto and said, “Lord Orochimaru is inside, please go in and see him.”

“Then, I’ll help you lead the way~”

Kabuto Yakushi nodded and walked into the dark and damp underground.

And looking at his back slowly disappearing into the darkness, Huang Quan couldn’t help but sigh secretly in his heart.

It seems that he has become more honest in recent times.

Compared with Kabuto Yakushi who left Orochimaru, his current level is indeed far behind.

He only focused on wooing Kabuto Yakushi in an attempt to gain information and allies, thinking that his disguise was very successful.

However, in the eyes of Orochimaru and Yakushi Kabuto, he is probably just a clown.

This feeling of being played in the palm of your hand is really humiliating.

At the same time, Kabuto Yakushi walked through several underground corridors and came to a secret room in a familiar way.

After twisting the door handle of the secret room, Kabuto Yakushi walked in calmly.

Click…

In the spacious secret room, Orochimaru sat on his knees on the ground, with an open scroll in front of him.

The candlelight reflected his shadow on the wall, twisting with the intrusion of the wind, like a black snake shadow that chooses people to eat.

Hearing the sound of Kabuto opening the door and coming in, Orochimaru said in a hoarse voice: “Kabuto, I have a question, can you answer it for me.”

Yakushi Kabuto lowered his head slightly, raised the corners of his mouth, and showed a smile.

“Lord Orochimaru, please tell me. Kabuto naturally knows everything.”

Orochimaru didn’t speak in a hurry. Under the flickering candlelight, his face flickered.

Immediately, he threw the scroll on the table to Yakushi Kabuto.

After taking the scroll, Yasushi Kabuto opened it slowly and saw the information about himself recorded on the scroll.

It even included news about the fight with Beiliuhu not long ago.

Kabuto Yakushi was not surprised, he smiled and said, “It seems that you have been paying attention to me, which really makes me feel flattered.”

Only then did Orochimaru raise his head, turned around, and met Kabuto Yakushi’s eyes.

he……

No, it should be “she”.

If Orochimaru’s original face was just feminine, then she can be considered feminine now.

In order to completely get rid of the endless pursuit of the Akatsuki organization, she was forced to use the “forbidden technique: immortal reincarnation”.

With the help of Kabuto Yakushi, he successfully faked his death and escaped.

But this also caused her soul to be damaged, and she completely lost the qualification to learn “Longdi Cave Immortal Technique”.

Orochimaru stuck out his long and slender tongue, licked his lips, and said sadly: “Don’t be flattered. Your outstanding performance deserves my constant attention.”

There is no doubt that Yakushi Kabuto’s current strength and performance are enough to make him feel fearful and surprised.

Compared to other people in the Akatsuki organization, Orochimaru has a much deeper understanding of Yakushi Kabuto.

At least Orochimaru knew that Kabuto Yakushi’s current strength was enough to rank among the members of the Akatsuki organization.

“I heard that Bei Liuhu’s forbidden technique has been successfully developed, and it has even integrated the three blood inheritance limits?”

After pondering for a moment, Orochimaru raised the corners of his mouth and asked, “Have you ever fought against him and defeated him?”

Yakushi Kabuto smiled modestly and said, “I don’t dare to take credit. Hidan tried his best to test out his abilities, so Kabuto was able to use strategies to subdue him.”

Orochimaru’s mention of Beiruhu was exactly what he expected.

After all, the crane tail that he once looked down upon has reached the same level as himself.

Even if Orochimaru didn’t say anything, the pride in his heart would still make him feel awkward.

At this time, it would be better to give Hidan the credit for defeating Beiruhu.

What’s more, he really didn’t lie.

Sure enough, Orochimaru did not doubt too much and continued to ask: “What do you think… about his forbidden technique?”

Kabuto Yakushi nodded first, then shook his head and said: “It has great potential. If it continues to be developed, it may become stronger, but the risks are also not small.”

“Humph, a blind cat meets a dead mouse.”

Orochimaru snorted coldly, with a tone of disdain: “The talent of that last-place guy is not even as good as Jiraiya. Now he can forcibly fuse three bloodlines, which is also considered his good luck.”

Kabuto Yakushi lowered his head slightly and pushed the frame on his nose: “Risks and opportunities coexist. If you want to change your destiny, you need to pay a price.”

“So, what price did you pay?”

Hearing this, Orochimaru looked at him with a sharp gaze, A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: “Kabuto, are you loyal to Pein, or to me, Orochimaru, or…to someone else?”

Kabuto Yakushi showed a faint smile and replied: “Of course I am loyal to my inner choice, loyal to my current identity, and loyal to Lord Orochimaru.”

Orochimaru’s eyes fixed, and he asked back: “Then why don’t you want to plant the Heaven’s Curse Seal?”

“I want to do this too.”

Kabuto Yakushi said calmly, neither humble nor arrogant: “But Pein is too cautious. If he finds out something, I will be killed by him and I will no longer be able to collect intelligence for you.”

After a pause, he looked into the eyes of the snake pupils: “Lord Orochimaru, you don’t want this to happen, right? After all, you still need me, don’t you?”

The smile on Orochimaru’s face froze.

Immediately, he stretched out his tongue and licked his lips, revealing a slightly weird smile.

“Kabuto, you are really becoming more and more fascinating to me!”

“I am now very curious about the level of your current fairy arts.”

The moment the voice fell, Orochimaru raised his hands quickly.

Hiss hiss hiss!!

Countless snake shadows shot out from his sleeves, opened their ferocious mouths and fangs, and rushed straight to the face of Kabuto Yakushi.

Countless poisonous snakes rushed to Kabuto Yakushi from different directions.

Kabuto Yakushi stood still without dodging or evading until those poisonous snakes came in front of him.

Swish swish swish!!

The chakra blade in his hand condensed, and a blue light flashed by.

Without exception, the heads and bodies were separated.

Several poisonous snakes were all broken into halves, and pieces of meat fell to the ground.

For a while, the sharp and piercing sound of breaking wind continued to ring in the almost closed secret room.

As Kabuto Yakushi killed more and more poisonous snakes, the blood mist seemed to make the air more and more sticky.

However, he ignored it and his body did not show any abnormal behavior.

Orochimaru crossed his arms and watched him kill all the poisonous snakes. He smiled with interest: “You have really learned a lot. It seems that ordinary ninjutsu and poison can’t do anything to you.”

Yakushi Kabuto adjusted his glasses and said with a smile: “Lord Orochimaru, am I qualified now?”

“It’s just an appetizer. If you want to become a partner with me, you are still a long way to go!”

Orochimaru grinned and bit his finger.

He quickly formed seals with both hands, slapped them on the ground and whispered: “Summoning Technique!”

Bang! !

As a huge white smoke exploded, the room was directly blown up, and the rubble above the head was scattered all over the ground.

A low voice came from the white smoke:

“Orochimaru, you disturbed my sweet dream again. If there are not enough sacrifices, I will eat you!”
